Which of the following is NOT a potential long-term complication to assess for after a myocardial infarction?

The correct choice is the one that identifies a condition that is not typically associated with long-term complications after a myocardial infarction, which in this case is asthma. After a myocardial infarction, the patient is at risk for a number of cardiovascular and systemic complications mostly related to heart function and structure.

Arrhythmias are a common complication following a myocardial infarction due to changes in the heart's electrical system, which can be exacerbated by ischemic damage. These arrhythmias can vary in severity and require monitoring and, in some cases, intervention.

Valvular heart disease may not be a direct consequence of a myocardial infarction, but if the heart experiences significant remodeling or damage, it can lead to impairment of the heart valves, resulting in regurgitation or stenosis over time.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is also a potential long-term complication. Myocardial infarction can lead to complications that affect kidney perfusion and function, particularly due to factors such as hypertension, diabetes, or heart failure that often coexist with cardiovascular disease.

Asthma, however, is primarily a respiratory condition that is not typically a direct complication of a myocardial infarction. While patients with asthma can have cardiovascular issues, it does not arise as a
